Apple, a company I interact with daily, is noteworthy for its efforts in sustainability and social responsibility. They are committed to environmental sustainability, a testament to which is their use of 100% renewable energy for corporate facilities. This is part of their broader initiative to reach net-zero climate impact across their business by 2030, a goal that highlights their commitment to energy conservation and reducing their carbon footprint.

In terms of social responsibility, Apple has a Supplier Code of Conduct to uphold workers’ rights and fair treatment in their supply chain. Their commitment to this code of conduct shows their efforts in ensuring ethically produced products.

In order to improve its ethical practices, Apple could consider increasing the lifespan of its products and providing better support for older models. This would contribute further to sustainability by reducing electronic waste. Additionally, reinforcing their Supplier Code of Conduct could ensure that workers are consistently treated fairly and justly. Regular third-party audits could improve transparency and ensure the adherence of suppliers to the code.

These suggestions would help Apple further its goals of ethical business practices, social responsibility, and sustainability, solidifying its position as a leading innovator that values not just technological advancement, but also a healthier planet and just working conditions.
